The Saint & The Sinner

CHAPTER 11

DeAngelo

    Who the fuck was shooting at us ? That's the only thought that was really rushing through my head. All I know is it's gonna be twice worse for them once I find out who did this shit. Then they fuckin' hit Armani, and that's what really got to me. Seeing her get hit knowing she didn't deserve it pissed me off. Who the fuck was after her and I....Melina !

     "Hey !" Her sweet soft voice was like a cherishing melody that I never wanted to stop hearing.
     "You good baby girl ?" I patted the bed signaling her sit beside me. I sat up and shooted over hissing in pain. She rushed to my side worried with anger in her eyes. She placed my pillow on my side and another behind my neck and head.
     "I'm good. What about you ?"
I shrugged, not really tripping off the pain. " It's not my first time getting hit so it's whatever. I'll be fine in the in a few hours." She nodded.
     "Sheesh. You want an antibiotic ?" He laughed and pushed the pill bottle away from him.
     "Nah ma. You can't be giving other people shit that was prescribed to yo."
     "Ohhhh. Well I'll call your nurse right now." She hopped up and disappeared, re-entering with my nurse.
     "Let's see DeAngelo. You look pretty good. The bleeding stopped. How do you feel?"
     "Like shit, but I'm good." She nodded giggling. I peeped the side eye Armani was giving the nurse and I, but I wasn't feeling the nurse or none.
     "You'll be ready to leave tomorrow after we run more tests on you tomorrow. Until then take one of these and I'll be back in to check on you. Your bottled water is over there." I nodded dismissing her.
     "Are you comfortable with staying here overnight ?"
     "Like I said before. It isn't my first time, I've became accustomed to this place." She nodded.
     "I guess I'll be staying the night with you then." I darted my eyes at her confused.
     "No. You need to go home. Your people gone be wondering where you at baby girl. I'm good here." I seen a glossy tear slide down her porcelain skin.
     "What's up ?" She was silent and then her pouted pink lips departed ready to speak.
     "I was disowned today so I really don't have a home right now."
     "What the fuck you mean disowned Armani ? I'ma need you to elaborate more."
     "I told my dad off not too long ago, and he disowned me for not wanting to follow his "rules" anymore. He basically said if I wanna sin I can't don't under his house. I didn't know being me was a sin, but I accepted it and I won't stay under his roof. I won't allow him to control and ruin the only good in my life right now."
     " How can somebody just disown they seed for wanting to be themselves. That's crazy as fuck and yo pops wrong for that. I'm with you 100% on this, and if you need anything lemme know."
     "Alright. I'm about to head out and get food. You want some ? I don't mind." I didn't want her buying me anything, but I damn sure wasn't about to eat this hospital food.
     "Yeah. Just get me something small." She nodded and headed out.
     "You have my number, call if you need something while I'm out." I nodded.

Armani

     I walked to where they last parked my car. It was still in good condition, but the inside had blood stains in the back. The sight of it made me cringe, but I pushed it to the back of my mind, and drove to my house. I grabbed a change of clothes, and a few hair materials so I could redo my hair. He was home when I got there or when I left and I was happy. I closed the door and locked it behind me heading to Chick-fil-A. I hate hamburgers, so I always stuck with chicken sandwiches and chicken tenders. I order the spicy chicken sandwich combo for DeAngelo and I both, and got fruit punch because I hate strong sodas.
     I pulled back into the hospital parking lot, and went up to his floor. I didn't see him on his bed, but I heard the bathroom toilet flush. I stood in the corner, and hid so he wouldn't spot me. As he headed toward his bed, his gown was open in the back, so his behind was out. I held my mouth from snickering, and the bag ruffled catching his attention. I let out a loud laugh, and he sucked his teeth annoyed. Once I gathered myself, I walked over to him, and hugged him.
     "I'm sorry but that was funny." I laughed a little more and handed him his food.
     "It's a spicy chicken sandwich from Chick-fil-A, and here's your drink." I handed him his cup and he snatched it.
     "Thanks." I laughed at how mad he was. I pinched his face and he swatted my hand.
     "I'm sorry cry baby." I leaned in and pecked his soft pouted lips.
     "Apology accepted." I laughed and he joined in.
     After we finished eating, I threw our trash away and we watched TV together, until I got up.
     "I'm gonna hop in the shower real quick. I can't sit in this all day." He nodded and then a smirk appeared on his face.
     "Mind if I join?" I blew him a kiss.
     "I do mind thanks for asking." He ain't slick.
     "Come on. I need you to wash my back. I can't stretch because my body still hurts." I rolled my eyes.
     "Are you serious or are you playing?" He gave me that puppy dog look and I knew I was going to give in.
     "Kind of both." Ugh Armani why do you like him?
     "Come on boy. Hands to yourself and eyes on my face." He jumped up and followed me.
